Maureen did an excellent job in marketing our property near the Long Point Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes. It was a single family detached house but the property had some complexities to it, including an existing lease tenant as well as a homeowners association.
Prior to placing the property on the market, Maureen went far above the normal responsibilities of a listing broker, by determining what repairs or enhancements needed to be made to make the property as marketable as possible, and then working with numerous contractors to complete the repairs, all while working with the existing tenant and keeping them happy during the process.
Maureen performed a comparative market analysis, and due to the strength of the market Maureen recommended that we establish an asking price slightly below what we believed to be the property’s market price in order to solicit multiple offers on the property. This strategy resulted in a sales price approx. $100,000 over the original asking price. Maureen prepared a comparative presentation of the competing offers that analyzed not only the creditworthiness of the proposed buyers, but also the probability of the buyers actually closing the escrow. .During the marketing process, Maureen prepared effective marketing materials, including flyers and advertisements, and held several open houses. Maureen seemed to be very effective in interacting with both potential buyers as well as their cooperating brokers.
During escrow, Maureen was extremely organized and made the escrow process flow smoothly. She was very effective in working with the buyers lender, as well as in obtaining termite reports (and completing subsequent remedial work required), etc.
I would be very happy to work with Maureen again, and would highly recommend her services!
Sincerely,
